on a side note...do you think an automatic radiator with a coolant re-route will work in 100* heat? I don't plan on doing track beatings in the heat of the day.

What type/model of Honda radiator is being used in the above install ?
I just searched that site and can't find anything for the model being used
Anyone know what model/type IC is being used also ??

Looks the same but I got it to my door for $95 from another supplier.
I went for my first drive last night. Everything works ok, I had to buy a fan from autozone after my trip to the junkyard failed to come up with a factory honda fan. It is only 12 inches but ok for now, I will get a factory fan or upgrade to a good 14 incher in the future.

here is a shot of someone who did this with a probe IC and Honda Rad.

if you do a search on m.net for honda rad you should be able to find this guy, I think thats where I found it.
from what Ive heard the honda's coolant route is more efficient (maybe most?) and the smaller rad works for that reason.

Can you PM me the suppliers details please ?
I think the piping from the Turbo would be better if the Turbo was clocked, shorter and smoother flow etc.

Hey! I have the probe intercooler. What turned me off was the 1.75" inlets. Do you think they limit the boost and or spool much? I'm only boosting at 4-5psi. I wanted to use it and run the pipes under the radiator. Does running a reducer at the turbo inlet then running the 1.75 pipes all the way to the TB help or what?

well, looks like my search is over. I got the intercooler for $5 at the local junkyard. I figured what the hell. its in near perfect shape. The pipes should be really easy to run. If I can get it in I can sell my JRSC cross over to someone who would rather run water injection. I'd love to run it, but I just got back into college. All my money is out the window before I touch it.

What do you think about this IC, with a free BoV.....probably crap ?
Seems like a good enough size at 4" thick, whatever about the silly price of it.

Well I just ordered this little baby

It'll leave me with about 11.5 inches space to fit an IC.
Now if I can only find an IC that'll fit I'll be sorted
